I don't think so: there's ispell-local-dictionary-alist for that.

But I now suspect it is done for hysterical raisins: the "Tools => Spell
checking" menu used to list the available dictionaries (even before
ispell.el was loaded).

Now that we have removed those menu entries, I guess it doesn't need to
be preloaded.
